Participants will be flown to the US for an open residency where they are encouraged to write, produce and perform original music. They then go on tour, collaborate with local musicians and lead workshops.
They will also set out their plans for the future and develop music-driven social enterprise projects in their respective countries.
The application period ends on Dec. 21 and applicants will be notified of the review panel’s decision by the end of March. (iru/kes)
